- | You do **not** need to install an imap or pop3 server to get paclink-unix to work. For your initial install I advise against doing this. After you have confirmed that paclink-unix is working with just an MTA only then would I embark on configuring an imap or pop3 server. Why would you want an imap or pop3 server? One of the ways I use paclink-unix is from my Android Nexus tablet I use the Android K-9 Mail program config'ed to use imap & invoke the wl2k transport programs via a web interface. That code is in the paclink-unix cvs tree under webapp. So the short answer is that you can support more mail clients with an imap/pop3 interface than a movemail interface. Mail clients that support the movemail interface include Thunderbird, mutt & most webmail clients such as [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/neomail/ | neomail]] | + | You do **not** need to install an imap or pop3 server to get paclink-unix to work.
